*Written this blog post back in 2012, my pen name that time was
SOC. I remember I wrote this because I have encountered lots of scam
sites before that made me almost give up in being an online freelancer.
Reading this now, it sounded more of a rant than a realization. :D:D :D
Scam sites as they earned money from scamming people.
When entering the world of online business and wanting to become an
online worker, better be aware that not all that are mentioned in a
certain site is real. There are lots of information there that are just
made up to fool and scam people for their own benefits. This is the
common mistake of beginners aspiring to earn bucks through online works
or jobs. They tend to believe those sites that has a dollar per click in
their ads and having a payout of $10000 or more, this had happened to
me!
I never thought before that these are scams, why? It is because they
have so many members there, they have people referring for them and they
have these faked payout proofs. Most of all why I believed them is
that, they do exist online for years! How they had managed to stay that
long online scamming people????? As I go on on my online adventure, I
had learned that they are just too good to be true. And the lower the
amount value offer by a site per click or per sign up, the more legit it
can possibly be. So I start wondering how this site owners just get
away from it. It was really frustrating to put and exert effort in a
site for months or even for a year just to find out that it was all for
nothing, just to benefit the scammer online.
I had learned to search about the forums available, the ones that can
be used to help others be aware of what sites are paying and what sites
are scam. It is worth saving others to lose dollars in the internet and
so to help also yourself from engaging again to it. It is by reading
and sharing that can make online workers more defensive against scam
sites. And although there are sites that investigate certain sites in
order to test its being legit,Ii think there should be a site or group
of online peeps that can get after those selfish site owners (if there
is already a group like that, I am not aware) and let them be punished
for scamming cause it involves maybe thousands of dollars or even a
million. So sad that these figures also reflects the thousand people
that had been scammed.
